hi,

>The installer on the CD assumes that your CD-ROM is on the second IDE
master. If your CD->ROM is elsewhere, you will see the following error:

>Unknown boot device: sdD0!cdboot!9pcflop.gz
>Boot device: fd0
>boot from:

>IDE/ATAPI drives in Plan 9 are named like sdD0, where the capital letter is
C for the primary IDE >interface and D for the second. The digit is 0 for
the master and 1 for the slave. So if your CD->ROM is the primary slave, use
sdC1:

>boot from: sdC1!cdboot!9pcflop.gz

i think this should help. You need to explicitly specify the cdrom
drive you are using

hope it helps!
